When building your baby registry, it's easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of stuff available -- not to mention all of the different options for each of those products. The world of sleep sacks, bottles, pacifiers and bassinets is vast and seemingly endless, all for this tiny creature you haven't met yet. 

Amanda Fletcher, 38, was kicked out of the elite school in October 2020 after the New York City Department of Education officials found she 'engaged in an inappropriate sex act' while instructing her class over Zoom. 

Parents and students at Manhattan's Columbia Secondary School for Math, Science, and Engineering were in shock to see the return of a Spanish teacher who was resigned from the school for 'sucking a man's nipple' during a Zoom lesson.

Settle in for a fantastical tale that may or may not be true. Will Bloom (Billy Crudup) visits his dying father, whose exciting, impossible stories about his life begin to take on credibility. This sprawling, Tim Burton-directed adventure takes us back to Edward Bloom's (Ewan McGregor) youth, where we see his stories play out for ourselves. With witches, a circus and bank robberies, Big Fish is a charming prize catch.

Fletcher, 37, (above) performed an 'inappropriate sexual act' in front of students at the Columbia Secondary School for Math, Science, and Engineering during a Zoom class on September 30, 2020, state investigators said

'Which includes a lie in (because I don't sleep much at night), taking SSRI medication, having a shower, applying makeup, putting on clothes (which I select the night before because I tend to feel stronger in the evening), munching some oats with water, apple and honey, taking more medication and I've just started tracking my macros again.'

 She believes it's not something to be ashamed of and never used it as an excuse in life: I hate to make the excuse that I'm dyslexic. I've always found coping mechanisms, and I've got got on with my life.

Love To Dream

We brought our baby girl home from the hospital armed with several Halo sleepsack swaddles and swaddle blankets, only for her to either break out or generally hate all of them. She seemed to want to sleep with her hands up, so I ordered a Love to Dream swaddle. She immediately seemed more comfortable at nap time, and we stuck with these until she was ready to transition out (as you size up there are "transition" options that let you zip off the sleeves). These swaddles also offer the added bonus of making your little one look like a flying squirrel. 

Baby Einstein

What do you actually do with a newborn all day, when they aren't eating or sleeping (which, to be fair, is most of the time)? This Baby Einstein mirror may not be the most aesthetically pleasing, but my baby loved it - giving her a way to look at herself and at some high-contrast patterns made tummy time a lot easier for us in the early days. She also liked looking at the high-contrast animal cards, which would make her smile. 

Evenflo

My lactation consultant recommended these bottles as the most similarly shaped to a human nipple, and best for helping improve baby's latch. They're easy to clean and pack in a cooler. Plus, they're a steal compared to the far more pricey Comotomo bottles I had on my registry. While my baby didn't seem to have a real preference for either, the Evenflo were the ones we stuck with. 

 The influencer knew from a young age that she wanted to follow a more creative path: 'In school I was always in like the second set, like academically, I just accepted the fact that I wasn't going to be the next scientist or the next English teacher.

Simple Houseware

This one is for the parents. I naively thought that I'd be able to fit all of my materials for nursing/pumping in a nice little caddy. I was very wrong. A small storage cart like this one will actually hold everything you need, like your pump, extra pump parts, snacks, water bottle, burp clothes and whatever else you'll need (and shout out to postpartum nurse and Instagram influencer Karrie Locher for the idea). And you can roll it from room to room so you aren't trapped on the couch all the time.
